Ming and Marie Spy
for Freedom

Travel through time with Ming in this exhilarating series as she meets incredible girls who’ve helped change the course of history!

Twelve-year-old Ming Qong is convinced that girls throughout history have changed the world. But it’s only when she’s thrust back in time to Belgium during World War I that she finally has proof!

Ming ends up in a burning cellar where, thankfully, she’s rescued by a young girl named Marie who is an experienced spy!

Marie is involved with a female secret resistance group who risk their lives outwitting the German troops. But Ming now faces a tough choice: will she risk her own life to join the resistance and send coded messages?!

You’ll love this book in Jackie French’s empowering and thrilling series about inspiring girls who helped shape our world.
